Notebook Resources for EVERYONE

• There is a folder of Smart Board resources on the staff server. Smart Notebook--the application that brings the Smart Board to life--

can be used even if your computer is not hooked up to a Smart Board. (caveat--can't be used on the older white e-Macs)

• So--even if you don't have a Smart Board, you might find some of the lessons and resources useful to display on your projector screen.
• Health $100 - Could this be spent to purchase technology items?
